So in other words, all you have are your personal preferences. Fine. But you don't have any valid reason for it. I'd rather have a reason for my beliefs. And? A matter of opinion. Versions such as the NKJV (which like the KJV, is a "formal equivalence" translation) has notes for when...

Good for you. No one cares. Make an actual argument. Saying it doesn't make it so, marke! Again, they are 98-99% in agreement. That's a fact. Referring to a book that no one has access to, and failing to provide an example from said book, means that no one knows what you're talking about...

"Instead of dividing over the few textual variances that exist in the Greek manuscripts, we should join hands because of the overwhelming consistency of the New Testament manuscripts, because that overwhelming consistency among them is actually evidence of its reliability!" -Will Duffy, Sermon...

Why can't you answer the questions I asked? Tainted how? Flawed how? Address the points made in post #26 please. Do the flaws you think are so important make a significant difference to the overarching plot of the Bible? Try starting with a few examples of so-called "facts." That's what the...

Tainted how? Flawed how? Does it make a difference to the overarching plot of the Bible? If so, how? Because you say so? Saying it doesn't make it so.

Exactly the "specific circumstances" (from my post in the other thread) I was thinking of, haha! Agreed! Indeed.

It's a way of speaking that isn't used anymore, except in specific circumstances. "Y'all" is just "you all," and is slang. "Ye" "thee" "thou" "thy" etc., were an attempt to maintain the distinction between singular and plural second person pronouns and verb forms from the Hebrew, Aramaic, and...

If all you have is a personal belief and a lack of understanding, then why should we listen to you? It may have been at some point in the past, but it is definitely not the best translation we have today. Why do you assume God needs to keep the Bible "infallible" (without error) in order to...

Completely outdated, yes. But obsolete it is not. It still serves as an important anchor and teaching tool in and for Christian history, and even history in general. The archaic English is (mostly) not helpful to modern English speakers, though the usage of "thee" "thou" "thy" and "ye"...

No, it wouldn't be higher. You keep forgetting that the death penalty, properly enforced, is a deterrent against crime. All it would take is one or two swiftly and painfully enforced executions and the crime rate would plummet to almost zero overnight. Why? Because criminals would, generally...

Far fewer than under the current system. Not only is it acknowledged, it's expected. So why do you need more points of accountability when one will suffice? Why do you assume that this will be the norm? All the more reason to make the best effort of uncovering the truth, using the...

She's also 64 years old.

Don't forget loving and good!

You say this as if one "authoritative" witness can establish a matter... The Bible says it cannot. I have logic, reason, and the internal consistency of the Bible that tells me that the KJV, let alone all the other Bibles in the world, contains errors. All you have is your opinion that it...

Again, naar is used. Therefore it CANNOT mean "little children." Thus, it likely is presenting the youn men in a negative light. And why shouldn't it? They are insulting a prophet of God, and even God Himself. I would think that it's similar to how Jesus used the diminutive form of dog when...

Which means that the KJV is WRONG when it calls the "young men" "little children." "Very young men" is still not "little children," no matter how much you try to rationalize it. So what? No one cares. It does. The thread at the following link includes photos of the original handwritten...

As I've said before: Allowing a convicted criminal to appeal his case undermines the authority given to the judge, and adds unnecessary delay to resolving a case. Then what's the problem? Mistakes are inevitable regardless of the system, Arthur, including yours, so this isn't an argument at...

Stubbornly believing falsehoods is a bad idea. You should humble yourself and ask God to help you with it. That's because you have an a priori commitment to the belief that the KJV is superior in some way. And we're not just "claiming [your] KJV Bible is poorly translated," marke. We're...

Then why didn't you just answer honestly and say, "I know of three or four various 'solutions.' They are...." and then list the solutions you know of? Usually when someone asks a question, they expect an answer. Clearly not paying attention.
